One big value is going into an audit with reliable data. Another is the time-savings in terms of audit prep. There’s no more pulling data from disparate places. We now can filter and pull reports based on tags. Throw in the immense peace of mind that comes with knowing data is clean for an audit and the value just keeps going up.
